This little collage is my entry for the "Pink Hearts" Paper Whimsy December lottery & the open themed challenge for Wednesday Stamper.

Soldering

Santa was really sweet this year, not only was I lucky enough to receive Sally Jean's new book Pretty Little Things but also a soldering iron & supplies to get me started........guess I must have been a good girl! LOL
Here are my first attempts, a little rough around the edges but as they say, practice practice practice!

Recycling

This was an old gold glitter covered ornament that I revamped by covering it with white paint & simply added a brass frame with a Paper Whimsy image & wove a little torn muslin around the central frame to soften the edges.

It's been a while .....

....since my last post, so to make up for it here are a few things I've been upto during December.
The above collage is for the December page for a Paper Traders calender....check it out, the rest of the artwork is fabulous and Charlene, the photoshop pro. did an outstanding cover! This group really has some amazing artists who work in all types of media so there's always something new to learn.

Sami culture

Well here is my final spread for the Culture AB round robin with the Altered Art Europe group. It has been quite enlightening, researching & learning a little about each culture throughout this project.
For Maria's book I was thinking snow....hence all the white layered gesso & tissue, which you can't really see here as white never scans brilliantly, I also added Sami symbols & a transparency depicting a Sami family circa 1800 & finished off the edges with some red fibre & ink.
Now it's just a matter of waiting for my Native American book to return home filled with lots of great artwork from the other girls.
